Water: Echeveria 'Zorro' flourishes in arid settings with high drought tolerance. Require minimal watering every three weeks, ensure excellent soil drainage to avoid root rot. Grown indoors to protect from cold temperatures due to its sensitivity. Low-humidity conditions mimic its native environment.

Fertilize: Echeveria 'Zorro' typically thrives in poor environments and doesn't require fertilization during its growth cycle. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but it's best to avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage.

Pruning: To maintain optimal shape, prune echeveria 'Zorro' in spring and fall by removing redundant or dense branches. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant after it heals. Keep the soil slightly damp for better results.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated primarily through leaf cuttings, especially in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil with the base close to the surface, and ensure suitable conditions of 25℃ and bright, scattered light. A bud will develop in one to two weeks.
